We're at the Chalfonts Community College with about ten people who are each about to do a presentation on the projects ("interventions") they've been doing in their schools for this course.Chris Higgins starts off by outlining how this fits into an MA - the CAEP (this element) counts as 3 units, and could be followed by Education Keywords: becta, buckinghamshire, dfes, e-learning, elearning, lea, learning, learning platform, moodle, technology, uk, vle Posted by Ian Usher | 0 comment(s) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/moodlea/~3/277634599/stone-umpc-revi It was just before the "Easter" break and being signed off from work for a couple of weeks I got to use another of the sub-notebooks doing the rounds. The Stone UMPC (I think UM = Ultra Mobile) is a rebranded Belinea s.book 1 and runs Windows XP Tablet Edition, has 1GB of RAM, a 40GB hard drive (unlike the Elonex ONE or Asus EeePC). As it's running XP Tablet it has a small stylus hidden in theKeywords: becta, buckinghamshire, dfes, e-learning, elearning, lea, learning, learning platform, moodle, technology, uk, vle Posted by Ian Usher | 0 comment(s) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/moodlea/~3/276840984/poetry-with-mot Apologies for the most obvious title for a blog posting (don't worry, you'll see why...).Today I've been at one of our secondary schools for an introductory session to what might be known as the Bucks Poetry E-Anthology. It's the project of one of my colleagues who's undertaking our M-Level course on E-Pedagogy (which had its fourth face-to-face day yesterday).

This follows on from (though probably isn't directly related to) the developments a few years ago where Microsoft funded the development coding so that Moodle would work better with Microsoft's database offerings.The offering is designed to work on MS Server 2008 Keywords: becta, buckinghamshire, dfes, e-learning, elearning, lea, learning, learning platform, moodle, technology, uk, vle Posted by Ian Usher | 0 comment(s) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/moodlea/~3/257796219/john-davitts-re In this week's missed-because-I-was-doing-too-much-Moodle-training Education Guardian supplement John Davitt gives a considered reflection on BETT and asks more than a few probing questions.

For me it was a day bookended by a meeting with a Headteacher in a primary school, and a brief after-school INSET session in a secondary school. In between, 60 or so people met at the Teaching & Learning Centre in Aylesbury for a couple of hours to hear about 16 of their number share what they had been doing with allKeywords: becta, buckinghamshire, dfes, e-learning, elearning, lea, learning, learning platform, moodle, technology, uk, vle Posted by Ian Usher | 0 comment(s) December 28, 2008http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/moodlea/~3/469984408/iusher
